Description

When I posted "Reach" on Friday, Meli, Pascale and Gregor each said they'd like to see a series of this kind of thing... so the choice of hands and feet as the February Theme could not have come at a better time! :-) I did "Reach" at work using the hand of my workmate Shane, but I did this one at home using my own hands. I used the same PSD file as a template to make sure the layout and colour scheme were complimentary. Fonts are (again) Pastelaria and Porcelain, available at www.misprintedtype.com. A little under an hour in Photoshop 7. Thanks for your feedback :-)

Beautiful, sensitive hands you have Jim! Great idea to make a series. My hands get a tender feeling and my eyes like the color and fonts you chose, I love the composition and your treatment!

I like this! Understated, yet strong. I see a union of man and machine, a combination of the best of each to create something greater than either alone.

Achmmm... Whos' hand on top?! :)))) Great Union! LOve it! It feels strong by the contrast. ... but... it loses to "Reach" something like 9:10.. (just in case) ... ;;))

Great and tender start for the theme - and marvellous extension for your earlier work:-) Hands can tell so much... Composition and typography are just perfect:-)
